BBM help ERROR MESSAGE

when i try to start my BBM, i get this error message: "Uncaught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException"

can someone tell me how i might be able to correct this problem. i have re-installed BBM several times; did a battery pull after each install. i am using a BlackBerry Curve2 8530, OS 5.0.0.973 java powered from sun microsystems, nuance vsuite v 3.2

would you believe i did the complete wipe and that did NOT fix the problem. did the walk-through with the folks at BlackBerry help. they were so kind! but it didn't fix that problem! let's keep working...

I suddenly am having the same problem.as well as my blackberry app world turned into spanish? Strange..this all happened after I installed the BB messenger update from app world,I cannot figure how to change it back to english,I have uninstalled messenger and reinstalled?
